Thank you so much, I checked last night and to my amazement our family member is already there.

I can give more details about his life if needed

Did you add yourself as "researcher" in the table view ? Then anybody else looking at the table will also know you are researching this name.

This will be the next step when I've finished loading all the records. Normally if you want to add details, you would send the Submitter a PM directly, or add something to the "Readers Comments" field and then PM the Submitter. However, as these records have all been submitted from another database, we don't have a "Submitter".

I have suggested to the BHCGI that they appoint one or more people as "coordinators" for the database, and then comments can be addressed to them. But more on that later ...

No I didn't add myself, will go back and do that. It took me several years to find this person, he was an only child, and his marriage was childless. I "claimed him " on the Canadian website that was set up a few years ago, and added our contact details, as well as leaving them with the Home that arranged his transfer to Canada.

I'm not expecting any contact regarding him, he had a difficult early life, as well as his experiences as a Home Child

I do have a photo of him taken in Canada with his wife ( who is the actual blood relative to us). She was a WW1 War bride

Hi Bob, That seems to be halfway to completion tonight and my two people of interest are in there! I'm now itching to put my name against them as researcher and maybe add a few notes if that facility exists.

This is a wonderful project! Just found my family member on there! When the bits for adding extra info & adding myself as researcher are operational, I have a lot more info/detail regarding him to add.
